Jane Whaley and her husband Sam, founders of the “Word of Faith Fellowship” (WOFF) in Spindale, North Carolina, have been ordered to appear in court, reports Associated Press.
The Whaley’s church has been called a “cult” and has a troubled history.
The Department of Social Services (DSS) is now investigating allegations of child abuse regarding the group and it seems the Whaleys are not exactly cooperating.
The controversial church is also involved in a struggle with a mother and former member who wants her minor children released to her custody. They are now being held by WOFF members.
Followers of the Whaley group once alleged that the mother Shana Muse abused her children, but DSS cleared the parent.
It remains to be seen if the Whaleys can pass through the same process without problems.
